Backlash at Ksubi founder's $250k plea

Ksubi founder Dan Single has been labelled "disgusting", a "disgrace" and "pathetic" for asking the public to raise $250,000 to help cover his medical bills after he fell from a Paris balcony.

On his GoFundMe page Mr Single says he shattered "every bone from my feet to my hips and pelvis" from the 35-metre fall out of his hotel room in March.

"I have been in a coma for two weeks, had eight operations and am covered in pins and bolts in my bones," said Mr Single who is married to Aussie model Bambi Northwood-Blyth.

His fundraising target of $250,000 will "help fund the hospital bill, rehab bill, early flights home, being unable to make bread and work over the next months and all the incedentals (sic) the family is covering at the moment."

But the fashion designer's request has been met with backlash and a bunch of $5 donations.

Alana French, who donated $5, said "Who the hell do you think you are? You're asking for a quarter of a million dollars when it was your fault that you jumped off that balcony!"

"I'm here to tell you that you are a disgusting human being and you should be punished for setting this page up," she said.
